How to Add Text Behind an Image on iPhone — Step by Step

1

Open the Editor in Safari on iPhone

Go to TextBehindImg.com in Safari on your iPhone. No App Store download needed — the editor loads directly in the browser. Tap the upload area and choose a photo from your camera roll. The AI detects the subject in seconds.

2

Add Text and Pick a Style

Tap 'Add Text' to create a new Text Layer. Type your text, then tap a font from the 150+ available options. Choose a color and size. Tap any preset to apply a complete style in one tap — Neon, Vintage, Fire, and 33 more are available.

3

Set Text to Behind Mode

Tap the Overlay panel and switch to Behind mode. Your text now sits behind the subject in the photo. Drag the text with your finger to reposition it. Tap blend mode options or apply 3D depth and perspective controls as needed.

4

Adjust Filters and Save to Photos

Use the filter tabs to tweak the image brightness and contrast on iPhone. When ready, tap Download — the finished image saves directly to your iPhone camera roll with no watermark, no account prompt, and no redirect.

What is TextBehindImg?

TextBehindImg works on iPhone with no app to download. Open the editor in Safari, upload a photo straight from your camera roll, and the AI automatically detects the subject so you can place text behind it in seconds. Design entirely in your browser, then save the finished image directly to your iPhone photos — free, with no signup and no watermark.
